AN AMBITIOUS PROGRAM
' By Charles V. Stanfot
THE Roseburg, chamber, of, commerce, which has been
.struggling along on a. budget pared to the bone in depres
sion days and increased to only a limited degree in later
years, is novy.eiigaged in. an effort. to increase its revenue
through larger , membership payments. A voluntary, in
crease in the rate of -financial support is being asked of every
menjbetv to provid thCj funds with, which to carry on an
active iincl needed program, i . i
During the depression' years, the chamber of commerce
budget was ciit to a point where it covered only the salaries
and a very jneagrp. amount for publicity purposes. Larger
membership has since provided slightly increased revenue,
but many memberships are still unchanged in rate from
former year.
The directors have voted to appeal to the membership to
voluntarily raise payments, and the officers have taken the
lead by adding substantially to their own duqs.
: There is a wide disparity in the amounts paid by mem
bers.. The chamber in past years has fixed no standard
schedule, placing membership largely on a voluntary contri
bution basis.. It ;is not planned at the present time to im
pose any enforced demands, but a committee has been work
ing on, revisions which would classify businesses, firms and
individuals and would establish a suggested rate of -payment
in each: classification. Thus, when notification, is
given members of the budget plan, there will be contained a
suggested rate of membership duos for the. firm, business
or individual solicited, which would bring the member into
line. with others in the same relative position.,
,The current industrial expansion of Douglas county makes
the work of, the, chamber of commerce more vital to commu
nity welfare than ever before. !
Our development of timber resources to date affects only
the raw material. Following the war, there will be wide-
spread expansion- in the field of plastics, fabrics, alcohol j
and other uses for. wood waste. We can either attract these j
by-product. plants to Douglas county by a determined pub-:
licity. campaign, or we can permit them to locate elsewhere,
wlule we remain. in a colonial economy,, furnishing the raw I
materials for some other locality to process into manufac- j
turod goods. j
The Roseburg chamber of commerce is fully aware of. i
the. publicity needs, but will require a greatly increased bud-1
got if it is to have the money to prosecute an effective pro- j
grain., At the same., time the, directors have mapped out a,
number of, projects, considered of great importance, all call-j
ing for promotional funds. - ' ' j
' Road and highway improvements,, lower railroad freight I
rates, increased hospital, facilities, supervised ' recreation,
timber conservation and reforestation of logged off lands,,
highway bcautification and public parks, are among some of
the projects on which. definite progress already has been
niiulVr ... i. . , , , , : ( ) . -
The -chamber is planning a large:scalo publicity and. adver
tising program to attract tourist trado following the war
and will need a large appropriation for printing booklets and
statistical material.
Work is in progress to obtain better bus and air trans
portation facilities, while conservation and propagation of
fish and game, municipal swimming pool, and civic center
building are among other subjects receiving attention.
At the same time, the chamber of commerce is endeavor
ing to give full cooperation to the county court, city adminis
tration and, board of school directors, and is not confining
its efforts to tho City of Roseburg alone, but is endeavoring
to make- its support county-wide.
If we are to measure up to the opportunities which are
knocking at the door of the county, a wide-awake and ener
getic chaniber of commerce is essential. We have an or
ganization at tho present time which has accomplished a
great deal of very valuable work with limited financial sup-Ijort-
Tho responsibility now rests with-tho membership
whether sufficient funds will be provided to make the opera
tions in the future more effective.

ment made today. The commence

Large Alluvial
Diamond Found by
Horseshoe Pitcher
RICHMOND, Va., May 10
(AP) The "lucky" horseshoe
tang as It struck the earth and
Hie horseshoe pitcher noticed a
bright object partly uncovered.
It was the "Punch" Jones dia
monddescribed as the largest
alluvial diamond ever found in
the United States, the largest of
any kind found in eastern United
States and the second largest of
any kind ever found in North
America.
R. J. Holdcn, professor of geol
ogy at Virginia Polytechnic in
stitute, speaking today before the
annual meeting of Ihe Virginia
Academy of Science, told of the
finding of tho diamond at Peters
town, VV. Va., a few hundred
yards from the Virginia line.
William P. "Punch" Jones, who
with his parents, Mr, and Mrs. I
Grover C. Jones,, and fourteen
brothers visited the world's fair
in New York In 1910, was pitch
ing horseshoes with his father.
That was about 12 years ago.
But in spite of n boyish exclama
tion of "see, I have found a dia
mond." the stone was not sub
mitted for study until recently.
The younger Jones kept the ob
ject as a curio but did not offer
It for expert inspection until
many years later "because I did
not care to face ridicule for my
wild suspicion."
Prof. Holdcn, chairman of the
geological section of the acad
emy, identified the stone as a dia
mond. He told the academy that
the diamond, now loaned by fa
ther and son to the national mu
st um in Washington, is of 34.46
metric carats, is white with a
slightly greenish tinge, and has
no visible impurities except one
black spot.
The diamond, lie added, is larg
er than the Dewey diamond of
23.75 carats which was found in
1S55 near lilchmand and was for
many years the largest diamond
by far found in the United States. '
